I've no idea about the person you know, but it is true that some vaccines can have side-effects.

However, that has no bearing on the fact that Wakefield's research was dishonest, manipulated and did not show any link of MMR to autism. Further, his experiments were also highly unethical in subjecting *children* to non-negligible spinal injury risks by carrying out *wholly unnecessary* lumbar puncture procedures.

Just cause you know someone who had some (I assume) unrelated bad experience with vaccines is most definitely not a good reason to start looking favourably on Wakefield or his work.

Again: Wakefield's "MMR causes autism" studies were *complete bull-crap*, and highly dangerous bull-crap.
